MIAMI, Okla. – Scepter, a first-time exhibitor at GIE+EXPO, showcased its new SmartControl fuel container last week in Louisville.
“Whether it’s using a tiller to start a garden or preparing a boat for a fishing trip, people rely on fuel to jumpstart their activities,” said Daniel Marshall, vice president of marketing and business development with Scepter. “Gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel all link people to projects and activities outside the home. Having a reliable fuel container, where you can easily control the flow of fuel being dispensed, is just as important to consumers as it is to industry professionals.”
SmartControl containers are available in one-, two- and five-gallon gas, kerosene and diesel sizes. The rugged containers can be filled and safely stored in garages and sheds. The product is designed for both residential and commercial settings, and the spout design of SmartControl provides a clean, fast and hassle-free pour and helps save gas for where it’s needed by eliminating messy spills. The user-controlled flow valve with its flame mitigation device makes it safe to direct the amount of fuel being dispensed. And, because the container stores with the spout on, hands always stay clean.
With a single motion, the user simply presses the lever up to unlock the child safety feature with the palm of the hand, and then squeezes the large button. This first squeeze is done when upright to vent the container. Then, place the nozzle over the tank and squeeze again to pour just the right amount of fuel.
Constructed in the U.S. and made of durable and safe high-density polyethylene, SmartControl containers can be found at The Home Depot, Walmart, Lowe’s and more. Visit the company's website for more information.
